26CornerBlitz Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 @SalSports Cockrell could be out 2-3 weeks. Holley has a 2nd degree hamstring injury. Rex calls it significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't read it that way at all... How else would you read that? He said that he wasn't an option for Week 1 because of his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's not an option, but THE option NFL thinks Cassel is emerging by default and that him starting is a way to give Tyrod and EJ more game time in the 1st game to see if they give any reasons to keep them in the competition Edited August 11, 2015 by BuffaloHokie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm not even sure Joe B can throw a spiral, so why would I let this kid be my primary source for training camp updates. I no longer care what our journalists say or report, I'm going to let the preseason games dictate everything for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes you will Which part: Cassell cementing the job with nothing but stellar practices or TT and EJ crapping the bed with nothing but poor practices? GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsxfirefighter Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Maybe he's not an option, but THE option Also may explain why he is getting all this time with the 3's against the D's 1.. If he can be serviceable in that position, he should excel with the 1's against others D.... :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You've got to cherry pick some of the productivity of Matt Cassel, but you can't overlook the 11-5 season in 2008, that 2010 season in Kansas City ... Just don't turn the ball over, Matt Cassel can do that." But he hasn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first play of practice today was a pass from Cassel to Watkins that was called as a PI on Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I have not heard Sal C say that at any time. Sal's been pretty clear in reporting the inconsistencies in EJ's practices but not once has Sal been heard to say that any one of the three is out of contention. I think Sal said that we are getting close to the time when the decision will be made. I heard him say it too Wayne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) which statement are you referring to? That the 3rd team offense is going against the 1st team defense. That is not and never has been an accurate statement. That is the reason EJ is failing in practice. Edited August 11, 2015 by VABills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Whaley used EJ as an excuse to pretty much further ignore the QB position for three offseasons (hell the redskins took cousins in the same draft the took RGIII, some years ago the cowboys took Steve Walsh in the same draft they took Troy Aikman). This is Whaley's fault not EJ's but EJ is the target because Whaley is teflon. Walsh stunk. Cousins stinks. No reason to take a guy just to take a guy. What QB would you have liked Whaley to get?

John from Riverside Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Haha. EJ has the best scrimmage and Taylor has the 2nd best. So of course Matt Cassel gets the most reps with the 1s. Has there been one time where Taylor and EJ got to split 1 reps? How is that a fair competition? No one loves mediocrity like the Bills. Biscuit The bills are now in a situation where its new coaches and ownership......Rex, Roman, and Whaley brought in two veteran qbs You knew this might happen. I for one do hope that if EJ is not int he bills future plans he does go on and have a successful career..... There has to be SOMETHING that is just rubbing coaches the wrong way with EJ's play.....maybe they view him as a coach killer with his inconsistancy......he show flashes of 1st rounder....then he follows it up with head scratchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sal Capaccio @SalSports Traditional 4–3 look. LB blitzes. Manuel has time, but hits CD Ron Darby right in chest, who couldn't hang on. Darby is a cross dresser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm not even sure Joe B can throw a spiral, so why would I let this kid be my primary source for training camp updates. I no longer care what our journalists say or report, I'm going to let the preseason games dictate everything for myself. Can Bill Belichick throw a spiral? Football is not rocket science, ya know. The kid has a college degree and has devoted his career to the Buffalo Bills. If he sees EJ air mail one or Tony Steward whiff on a tackle, I think he is qualified to report it. This is just such a tired argument. I was friends with Adam Gase growing up. He never even played football. Now he is an NFL offensive coordinator.
